SOMETHING IN IT.

The HERALD believes there is gooc
deal more than a sensational new!
item in the Geographic dispatch which
appeared in this paper last week, say
ing that Union Pacific engineers were
looking out a route with the view to
the extension of the Utah Central rail-
way to Los Angeles. We believe there
is nothing sensational in the dispatch
and also believe that enc of these days
the graders will be at work on the
line. For years we have been pull
ing" for this advance, and now believe
our hopes are to he realized. 1t has
seemed strange and inexplicable that
the Union Pacific did not
years ago, go ON to California
by this southern route. For years the
end of that great line rested here in
Utah, while rival companies were build
ing all around it and taking away its
carrying trade. Then when it con-
Guided that it must find an outlet to the
Paciic,i it built 400 miles across lava beds,
and as many more over dreary wastes
and through canyon gorges, crossing a
country which could contribute little to
the support of railway. The Oregon
Short Line, if the necessity for it shall
ever come, was built a generation too
soon, and is regarded by railroad people
everywhere as the monumental rail
way blunder of the times. If a
portion of the money that was
put into the Short Line had been ex
pended for the extension of the Utah
branch of the Northern Pacific to the
ocean, the Union Pacific would to-day
own the best OF the transcontinental
railways, and be earning money for the
stockholders of the company.
Much of the country trayersed by the
route is agricultural land, and
there are several rich mining districts
along the line, while none of the region
which will be tributary to the road is
anywhere near so worthless as hundreds
Of miles through which the Oregon
Short Line runs.
OF course, there is selfshness in de-
string the extension of the Union
Pacific. The continuation of that
road to the ocean would ne,
develop large and
rich section of Utah, and will make
everything east of the mountains tribu-
AIRY to this Territory. It will do more
or Utah than any railroad has done
since the last spike was driven closing
he first transcontinental line; and it
will give this Territory q chance 10
each the Pacific and be reached by
California.
We hope and believe the Union Pa
;ifc magnat4s have finally seen what
Ill here have kLoEn f.r years, that it
will be :or the best interest OF the COM
Dany and for the best interest Of Utah
and Nevada, to extend the road to the
Pacific, and make itself independent of
other and rival lines.

St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-01-01

We find. then, the governor of the
State of Louisiana writing to an ex-
State official, four months after be had
gone out of office, requesting him to re-
turn to the State treasury the money of
the people. To this the defaulting Off
cial replies with "Dear Governor -
letter, stating that he would abe in
Baton Rouge next week" That "next
week" will be many years coming, so
far as the return of the peoples money
is concerned. At least, this is Decem-
Der 81, 1886, and more than $4,000 of
this $3,4s4 Is is not yet visible to the
naked eye.
Now, we are not disposed to censure
the executive of the State for failing to
make the defalcation publicly known,
but writing instead to Strong on Aug
ust %, 1884, and insisting upon the re-
turn of the money. This might have
been the best method of securing the
States interests for aught we know to
the contrary. We can readily under
stand how a staunch Democrat like
Gov. McEnery would be 10th to believe
that another staunch Democrat like
Strong ( for he was a brave white
peoples cause) could have embezzled
the money Entrusted to his care. But
what we cannot understand for the life
of us is why the governor said nothing
and did nothing in the long interval
from August, 1884, to August, 1886. We
do not charge the governor with any
thing criminally wrong. Personally he
is as honest man as breathes, but how
weak. how lamentably weak. must even
his friends confess him to he, when for
two whole years he does nothing to
bring the defaulter to justice And
why? Was it not because Strong was
his warm personal friend, and lie al
lowed the dictates of his heart to get
the better of the dictates of his head ?
Can what we have said be distorted |
into personal abuse 2"

Phenomenal Growth of "A
Town.
Chicago Herald.

Durham, n. c. is another Southern
town which has had phenomenal
growth. In 1870 its population was
only $50; now it. has population of
$500, with 1000 or 5000 just outside the
corporate limits. The property as
sessed for taxation in 1870 amounted
$4,000; it is now S3,5O0,OO0. The
amount assessed in manufacture in 1870
was 1875, 900; now, $s,25O,00O. The re-
tail trade of merchants in 1885 was
$s5O,O00, wholesale, 100000; cotton
aud fertilizers $250,0OO There are two
banks with resources of 100000 There
are twenty odd tobacco factories in sue
cessful operation, with an annual value
of products amounting to more than
$50, 1000. In addition, there is large
cotton factory Of 5000 spindles and IA
WOODEN mill turning out thousands of
shuttles, bobbins and other necessary
articles. There are employed in the
above factories alone about LOO whites
and 500 blacks. A contract was awar-
ded for the water works. and there are
electric lights on the principal streets.

Exemptions Claimed by Rich
Corporations.
y. o. Chronicle.

There is a suit pending in the Civil
District Court which illustrates the inc
qualities of our legislation and taxation,
and the unjust operation of the grants
or concessions Of special privileges to
powerful corporations. This is the suit
of the harhor masters of the city
against the Morgan Steamship and
! Railroad Company for the fees claimed
OF this company, on their ships enter
ing this port, as exacted from all other
vessels. The company has refused this
claim for tie last ten or twelve years, as
they went TO law to contest the Quar-
antue fees which they have been
adjudged To pay and have, We believe.
settled to very large amount.
The grounds Of their refusal to nav
the harbor masters fees are the same as
those npon which they contested port
Warden,s fees, from which they were
released by Judgment Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States The re-
sources and tcnacity Of this company
were illustrated in that suit which they
took up from Il justice of the peace Of
this city, on final Judgment for fee
of FIVE dollars.
Their contention was that it was
violation OF the Federal Constitution
for State to levy fees or dues upon
vessels entering this port, upona ton
mage measurement. all such mode of
taxation being reserved to the Federal
Government
Their attorney now sets up the same
plea to the claim OF the harbor masters.
The latter, however, contend that their
fees are not regulated by tonnage
measurement.
1t this plea of the richest of all our |
steamship companies should prevail, it |
would release all other ships entering |
this port from this charge, even if It ,
would not give good equitable claim
for the reimbursement of the fees pre-
viously paid the State officials
Either this conclusion or the other
must follow that the Morgan Line enjoy
this as we'll as many other exemptions
from burdens imposed upon all others
in the same business.
Besides these exemptions, they have
been able to occupy the largest portion
Df the front of the city on both sides of
the river and have even constructed
high uDsightly warehouses in front of
The Oldest and handsomest Of our public
squares. which was donated to the city
IN the express condition that no struct-
Tres should be authorized to 0bstruct
he views to the river. 1t would be at
east historically instructive to inquire
Ind learn how these special exemptions
md privileges have been obtained by
his great corporation.
